Two by two, into the foggy dewDos por dos, en el rocío brumoso

Three by three, they danced on the seaTres por tres, bailaron en el mar

Four by four, they danced on the shoreCuatro por cuatro, bailaron en la orilla

Five by five, they tried to surviveCinco por cinco, intentaron sobrevivir

Six by six, they were playing with tricksSeis por seis, jugaban con trucos

How many paths did they try and fail?¿Cuántos caminos intentaron y fallaron?

How much poison did they inhale?¿Cuánto veneno inhalaban?

How many black cats crossed their trail?¿Cuántos gatos negros cruzaron su camino?

Eight by eight, they got to the gateOcho por ocho, llegaron a la puerta

Nine by nine, they drank the wineNueve por nueve, bebieron el vino

How many more without any reward?¿Cuántos más sin ninguna recompensa?

How many more can they afford?¿Cuántos más pueden permitirse?

Four by four, they turn it some moreCuatro por cuatro, la giran un poco más

One by one, they follow the sunUno por uno, siguen al sol

Two by two, to another rendezvousDos por dos, hacia otro encuentro
